- I’ve had so many requests for more detailed videos on processing herbs and wild plants and how I go about making useful products with plants, so today I thought I’d do a more in depth video on making infused herbal oils, and also an overview of other solvents you can use to extract the properties you are wanting from your herbs.

Thank you, first of all for sharing your wisdom and experience.
I bought a wild blackberry pie at a church social fund raiser many years ago. When I learned the maker was 98 years old I asked if I could meet and thank her personally. We had tea together and I asked her about life back then. The second youngest of twelve siblings who all survived to adulthood, she was the last one left. I asked her about her mother and how she managed, they were not wealthy. Her mother made remedies. She was prone to earaches and infections. She remembered mullein drops in the ear and a soft compress of salt in a cotton sock her mother heated on the cook stove.and had her hold against her ear. It seemed to draw the pain and infection out. I wish I had spent more time with her, walking from candle light to the laser light that had just recently renewed her vision. She also said she had the neighbor boy pick the berries that year.
Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! This is a really helpful video ❤
you are freaking awesome :) thank you so much for the time you spent on this, every human on earth needs this knowledge
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful to me. I LOVE it when the inner witch comes out and wants to play. Hoping to make some sagebush oil from fresh sagebush. Supposed to be helpful for arthritis pain.
Beware using croc pots for oil infusions! I, as many, *assumed* the temperature was low enough but luckily I checked the temp *inside* the jars only to find the lowest setting (Low) heated my herb infusion to over *180°* ❗️ 😮 WAY beyond the safe temp & thus killing the very things I wanted from the herbs. 😖 It’s like boiling your green beans til all their colors & nutrients are gone vs. steaming. Just a tip since most of us innocently trust the ‘dials’. I always shot for 90-95° for 2-3 days then cool/dark place for a week or 2. Well done video❗️
I put my infusions in my dehydrator at 118 Fahrenheit for a week or so. Works perfect every time!
For my future reference, timestamps 3:40 and around 9:00 talks about ear oil for babies
Can you do a video on the after processing to show strain and end result
Thank you so much for bringing me back to my roots...
Thanks for the information! You are very gracious to share precious well time with us!
Thank you for this!! Please make more of these videos
Thank you Ashley for this vital information.
Awesome these are better then chemical medicines
Great video. Thank you.
Can you infused 2 different types of herbs/ flowers etc
Ashley ,great to see you feeling much better and thank you, for taking your time to explain the infused herb oil. Would it be the same process for lavender or peppermint essential oils? And would you know of a natural remedy for joint or muscle pain? I would appreciate any information you may have.
Lucky Gracie essential oils and infused oils are two different things. Essentials oils are made by taking pounds of plant matter and squeezing out the oils in the leaves/plants via a specialized process. Infused oils is what you saw her do in this video, adding oil into the herbs and using that as a way to extract the properties of the herbs. Hope this helps.
Great questions. I too am interested in which dried flowers are best for muscle and joint pain.
Thank you 🙏 for sharing 🌱🌱💚💚💚🌱🌱💚💚🌱💚💚🌱🌱💚💚💚
Could I do an oil infusion with sage?
Hi Ashley, You are sooooo knowledgeable! I love it! I hope all is well with you. How long to infuse oil & herbs to make a hair oil for growth of hair.
Finding you has been a joy and I am learning a lot so thank you for sharing your passion. I am new to your channel also !! 😊❤🌺💯
What if you have a warm setting on crock pot is it ok to keep in warm water bath longer?
I love your breakdown of explaining things. I just discovered you. You did bring up somethings for me to consider. Do you have a outline of how you choose which oils, alcohol and vinegars with which works best with which herbs for what uses. Like a cheat sheet. I should have thought of the cheesecloth method instead of opening lid daily. Thank you.
I just discovered your channel and only have seen these two videos on herbal infusing. I love all the details you share! I'm new to infusing and soap making. I wanted to ask how much of the "goodies" in infused oils do you think survive the saponification process? P.S.- I'm from Idaho too! 😃
Thank you for sharing! I was wondering how can you do like Frankincense resin and Myrrh resin. Can you please show or explain Thank you! Blessings
Thank you for this video. So I learned from the part 1 that the ratio for dried herbs to oil is 1:2. How about the fresh herbs ratio?
When using dried herbs to do oil infusions, will the dried herbs get soft in oil?
Do you ever use Everclear on the herbs before the oil?
Yes! For certain herbs the everclear helps pull out some of the constituents into the oil. Arnica is one I do with everclear. 😊
Hello love all your videos, is there any way to make palo santo essential or infused oil at home, thanks
Hi Ashley. I love the idea of calendula and witch hazel as a toner. I don't recall you saying what the process is before using it. Do you leave it sitting for weeks or what?....Thank you, Shirley
What is the calendula flowers + St John's Wort in grape seed oil used for?
Does anyone know how to tell if your fresh basil stem oil may have mold in it and how long is it safe to keep in a mason jar ?
You have so much info did you go to a school to learn your knowledge?
How long do oil-infusions last? For example, I'm making calendula and lavender (respectively) infused-oil and was wondering how long they'll last. It's only been 4 days since I infused them. Also, can i mix oils? Like infused the herbs with both Avocado and Grapeseed oil?
C V it depends on the oil you use to infuse, what plant is infused and whether the plant material is fresh, wilted, or dry when it’s infused. But in general somewhere between 4 months and 2 years. In general if the material is dry, between 1-2 years. If the material is fresh, around 4-8 months. That varies a bit, but is a good general idea. ❤️
Ashley Glassman / Herbal And Succulent Alchemy thank you! I used dried herbs.
Do you have a suggestion for beet powder extraction I did powder and nothing happen the beet powder has not incorporated into the oil I am going on 3 weeks with this oil...driving me crazy !
Hi! Where do you get your Plants from?
The yard
Areent you introducing water to a oil? Bateria explosion? Using fresh herbs i mean
Why do you put a towel in the crock pot?
